It used to be a big deal when a movie star starred in a TV show. Now, they get cancelled just as quickly as any other series. How will Halle Berry and Extant do on CBS? Will it be renewed for season two or will it be cancelled after one short season? Stay tuned.
On Extant, astronaut Molly Woods (Berry) returns to Earth after a year-long solo mission in outer space. Her reunion with her family is thrown into turmoil when it’s learned that she’s pregnant. Others in the cast include Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Camryn Manheim, Grace Gummer, and Michael O’Neill.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/9 update: Extant has been renewed for a second season CBS.

What do you think? Do you like the Extant TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
I love the show. The acting, cast and story are amazing. I also love all the details of the futuristic world we may someday actually experience in our everyday life. Please don’t cancell it, but instead bring to light more mystery and development of characters.
I’m very disappointed that another great show is being cancelled. How can I help to keep this show runnin? The weekly suspense is great! Please ask the fans before removing such an interesting sci show! Thanks in advance
Leave the show on fora nother season at least and let’s see what happens?
Hopefully there will be a season 2. I am subtitling Extant in French for VOD in Europe and I really enjoy it.
I love this show. I hope it gets renewed.
I love this show please don’t cancel it
We love this show. It has become our favorite. Please don’t cancel it!
Love this show, don’t cancel. Sometimes the networks don’t give it a chance. Some of the longest running shows were almost cancelled cause of low ratings. I’ve been craving something different other than the same stupid reality junk, and this show is it
Please don’t cancel this show!!!! I LOVE it and can’t wait to watch it each and every week! Everyone does an amazing job in this series; please don’t cancel this show!!!!
I look forward to this show weekly. Sometimes it’s difficult to keep all the characters straight, because new ones seem to be introduced with every episode. I notice the futuristic background details. That’s almost a show unto itself. The overriding control/conspiracy theme isn’t too far-fetched, either.
I really like this show I think they should put it back on for a second seasonthe storyline is very interesting!
I love this show.. don’t the ratings people know that the ‘Star Trek’ generation watch this show and not just the 18-49 demographic. Hope it runs another season.
I hope this show gets canceled so my woman can watch something else!!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ… one of the worst new shows. The best part of any great show is the writing and Extant’s scripts just suck. Even worse than Under the Dome.
Yes!!!!
This is an exceptional story with a great production and I look forward to watching it. It does remind me of AI meets Contact but that was appealing to me. Science Fiction has a hard time on network TV. Firefly , Almost Human, Alphas, Threshold and Caprica were some shows that I really enjoyed and most would say were well made but for some reason will never gain the kind of popularity that a comedy like HIMYM did. When audiences love Reality TV, I don’t think there is much room for the cerebral fantasy that Sci Fi offers. This show… Read more »
Sci Fi isn’t the problem, its that the sci fi shows suck.
